Jampot Productions, the video-first podcast company behind NearlyWeds, NewlyWeds and NearlyParents/NewlyParents, has built its production pipeline around Sony video cameras — citing the consistency, dynamic range and autofocus needed to shoot fast-turnaround, multi-camera podcasts without losing a cinematic look.
Founded in 2021 by Jamie Laing, Jampot has grown into a roughly twenty-person production company handling talent, studio design, social media and advertising for a fast-growing slate of shows.
Jake Ji, Head of Video at Jampot, comments: “Podcasts are becoming the new broadcast. People still listen via their favourite podcast apps, but more and more want to watch as well.”
Consistency Across a Multi-Camera Workflow
Jampot’s shoots often run five or more cameras simultaneously, so cross-camera colour matching is essential. Sony’s shared colour science and S-Log3 recording keep footage aligned across cameras and setups, leaving room to adjust without losing consistency. When shooting on location, cameras must be equipped to follow talent into unpredictable, poorly lit spaces like home interiors and wardrobes.
Jampot is using the the Sony FX6, a full-frame cinema camera with a dual native ISO sensor and face/eye-tracking autofocus, and the compact Sony FX2, whose 33MP sensor doubles as a stills camera for on-location and promo work. Both pair with Sony G Master lenses, including the 24–70mm f/2.8 and 16–35mm f/2.8.
With five or six series in production at once and two to seven episodes published a week, footage is shot in 4K, 10-bit 4:2:2 S-Log3 — up to 700GB per episode — giving the studio flexibility to repurpose material from full 4K masters down to short-form social clips. Turnarounds are fast, an interview recorded Monday can be edited, clipped and published by Wednesday. Automated backup and ingest cut down manual handling, and Jampot is now evaluating cloud workflows such as Sony Ci Media Cloud to streamline further.
Lizzie McCarthy, Video Editor and Colourist at Jampot Productions, comments: “Sony’s Cinema Line cameras provide a lovely cinematic look and make skin tones look great.”
A Distinct Look for Every Show
Each Jampot podcast has its own bespoke studio design rather than a shared set with lighting, lens choice, camera movement and set design tailored to match each show’s tone, which the company sees as key to standing out in a crowded market.
Christie Patel, B2B Marketing Lead at Sony Digital Imaging Solutions, comments: “Jampot Productions clearly displays how our Cinema Line cameras, and shared colour science, let creators build a distinctive visual identity while working at real production speed. We’re proud to support their growth as video-first podcasting continues to raise the bar for what audiences expect.”
Jampot plans to keep growing organically, expanding its Sony camera and software toolkit as it scales.
Ji concludes: “With Sony, you capture cinematic quality at an affordable price point. I’m 100% convinced Sony’s dynamic range and autofocus are the best. Whatever we do, it consistently looks great. We want to be stronger visually, more cinematic — and I’d like to explore more with Sony to streamline our productions even further.”
